Redheads rock

I had a wonderful shoot today with the K family at Alexandra Palace. Gorgeous children and so well behaved. My new favourite subjects are 7 year old girls!

Two sneak peeks for tonight, more to come soon.



Cheeky chappie...

May is my favourite month

I'm fortunate to live in a particularly leafy part of North London. Today I noticed how many different gates there are on each street.








If you squint at the left picture, you can just see the bunting going up ahead of the World Cup where, no doubt, we'll go out on penalties. Tsk.







Poor abandoned bunny.

Why you should always keep a camera handy ;)

Al Lewis and Sarah Howells

More blog catching up here. I've photographed Al several times over the years (he was one of my first portrait bookings and found me through MySpace). He is a solo artist but recently he has collaborated with a wonderful singer called Sarah Howells. I love their voices together, they work so well.

For this shoot, we went to the Proud Gallery in Camden. It has huge skylights so the whole place gets loads of natural light. They were fantastic models and did everything I asked of them. I guess you are less shy when you have to get up on stage and sing in front of people.

Late spring in Highgate Woods

Shooting another photographer is always stressful and nerve-wracking, and this shoot was no exception *ahem*, but could you ask for two better models? Max stood up for ages which he's never managed to do. So proud.

This shoot is a prime example of how important it is to plan your clothing for portraits. If Leon or Max had been wearing mismatching, branded clothing, the images wouldn't have been as effective. It also shows that you don't have to play it safe and wear white tops and blue jeans.

Spring has sprung, people.

And about time, too.

Just a few from an Hindu engagement ceremony I shot in West London. I hadn't been to one before and the ritual and colour was just lovely.

Catching up with some blogging today. I've been a naughty blogger over the last year.

This is the C family. O and J are the MOST adorable boys. J (the older one) ran around and smiled so much, he really made my day. Neither of them seemed to mind my camera, if anything they played up to it. Just what a photographer likes in a shoot!

Look at this cheeky face!















Thanks guys, it was a fabulous day on Hampstead Heath x

Max is now so used to the sight of a camera that he positively glows at me.
